Current

Analyze Current Model

Analyze the active model's characteristics, training data, and technical details.

Convert

Convert Current Model

Convert the active model's name, precision, format, pruning state, and other properties.

Merge

Simple Merge

Merge two models with basic options.

  • Alpha Ratio: Blend ratio (default 0.5 = 50% primary, 50% secondary; 0.2 = 80% primary, 20% secondary)
  • Overwrite model: Replace the primary model with the merged result
  • Save Metadata: Include metadata from both source models
  • Weights Clip: Limit merged weights to prevent saturation and artifacts
  • ReBasin: Use multiple merge permutations to retain more features from both models
  • Model Precision: Set the output precision (e.g., FP32, FP16)
  • Merge Device: Choose which device to use (CPU, GPU, etc.)
  • Replace VAE: Optionally use a different VAE in the merged model

Preset Block Merge

Merge models using presets. Check the SDXL option for SDXL models and choose from preset alpha ratios instead of setting them manually.

Validate
